Wheel Vibrations, Shaking... New Tires Just Balanced.. What Gives?

[murph]

Ihad similar problem on my GS430 . New tire's and balance no help. I had a dealer do a 4wheel alignment and Road Force balance.

Whooa!! what a difference. Smoother,quiter, and beter handeling. Good Luck.

Did you have the alignment done at a Lexus dealer or elsewhere?

I have 20 inch chrome rims. I have had the problem way before I even put the rims on it, so I doubt it is the rims.

I've had all the problems that everyone has been talking about with my 1999 GS 400. Ive had the car for 2 years and ive been through 10 tires due to wear in the front. I would align and high speed balance my car constantly and it would still shake on the highway. Ive been to multiple mechanics nothing, until I talked with a buddy of mine @ Hi-Tech Racing and he said simple it was my lugs. You need to make sure that the lugs you have on your gs are factory not aftermarket. He told me the factory lugs especially for 17inch rims are self centering lugs. After 100's and 100's of dollars spent it is a simple lug problem. My car rides smooth now, no problems. Go to you nearest Lexus dealer before you keep spending your money on new tires like me.
